Hebrew · ZE-ra ha-e-SHAH
Seed of the Woman
זֶרַע הָאִשָּׁה
The Seed of the Woman — the promised deliverer who crushes the serpent's head
Symbol: The heel bruised, the head crushed — the first promise of the gospel
“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
Genesis 3:15
The first promise of the gospel — spoken in the garden at the moment of the fall. The Seed of the Woman would crush the serpent's head at the cost of His own heel.
What the name means
This is the protoevangelion — the first gospel, spoken before humanity had even left Eden.
The serpent strikes His heel (the cross); He crushes the serpent's head (the victory).
The seed of the woman, not the man — a hint of the virgin birth: the deliverer would come through a woman alone.
How to pray this name
- Pray: 'Seed of the Woman, You have crushed the serpent's head — I live in Your victory.'
- Pray it over spiritual warfare — the head is already crushed.
Seed of the Woman, promised in Eden, You crushed the serpent's head at the cross. I stand in Your victory. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
The Seed of the Woman has crushed the serpent's head — I live on the winning side of the oldest war.
